I open my window, a crack, just to hear you You have this way, a knack, when I’m near you I close my eyes and listen Imagine the leaves, their glisten You relax and you sooth me You inspire and you move me You put my mind at ease As you breeze through the trees The rhythmof your tears It’s music to my ears The breath of a sigh As the clouds gently cry

I open the curtain, the blind Open my heart, my mind I see your scattered flight Framed in morning light
You relax
and you sooth me
You inspire
and you move me
You change
my mood
in an instance
You wash
my worries
to the distance
The tranquility
of the scene
Sprinkles
on my screen
The essence
The refrain
My affinity
for the rain

You used to look up at meand say the darndest things“where do you think we would fly toif only we had wings?”You would yank at my sleeveand ask with your blue eyes “Daddy, what do you think a bird thinksthe first time that it flies?”

Outside on the front lawnfather and daughter birdsarms spread and eyes closedno need for wordsAfter our five minute flightcrisscrossing on airwe would sit on the stepready to share

“I really love the mountains,and landing at the topsoaring off a ledgeto where the blue doesn’t stop.”“I like going really really high,as high as I can flyhigher than the cloudsto the top of the sky.”

Closing our eyes againto imagine each others flightone to the distanceone to the highest heightThe bird just feels freeno worries and no fearIt was nice for us to knowthat we could always land here
